My Sad Captains

Event information

MY SAD CAPTAINS (London)
With their debut album just released to widespread approval on Stolen Recordings label, this London-based quintet have managed to excite many in the capital with their slacker indie pop, and have already received loads of airplay on Radio 1 and XFM.
MSC produce an american alt-pop sound, touched with country lashes and occasional fiery noise outbursts which has been described as sounding a little like Pavement getting a pop overhaul with violin, melodica, keyboard, glockenspiel and various toys.
‘One of the capital’s best kept secrets’ - The Fly

THE OXYGEN PONIES (Brooklyn, NY)
..is all about disenchantment, but somehow it remains uplifting. Songwriter Paul Megna's songs are a constant tug-of-war, reaching unexpected crescendos and spiralling down on a tightrope of oblivion, yet they never lose their balance.
Signed to Tummy Touch Records.
For those who like: Red House Painters, Afghan Whigs, Elliott Smith, Lloyd Cole, Arab Strap, Sparklehorse, Talk Talk, Smog etc

RANDI RUSSO (Brooklyn, NY)
...mixes emotionally drenched indie-rock with psychedelic, punk, art-rock, garage, and folk influences. Her velvety singing style is as equally raw and beautiful as her guitar playing is edgy and unusual. Randi's a southpaw who plays her guitar upside-down and backwards which creates interesting chords and sounds.
